Sang

Famous quotes containing the word sang:

    Grandfather sang it under the gallows:
    “Hear, gentlemen, ladies, and all mankind:
    Money is good and a girl might be better,
    But good strong blows are delights to the mind.”
    There, standing on the cart,
    He sang it from his heart.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Like a wet log, I sang within a flame.
    In that last while, eternity’s confine,
    I came to love, I came into my own.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    No Time, spoke the clocks, no God, rang the bells,
    I drew the white sheet over the islands
    And the coins on my eyelids sang like shells.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
